This is the first game I will try and run on Myth-Weavers, though I have played in several. If this fact bothers you feel free to not apply. In any case, I am willing to try.

If there is anything you aren't positive is allowed, feel free to ask and I'll answer when I can, I shy away from homebrew stuff, but there is no harm in asking.

I'm looking for 5 players who are able to post once per day. The players will make up two 3 man squads who at the start of the game are on a mission to deliver vital orders to the Village Hidden in the Sand.

By default Characters should be from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, but if you have a convincing enough story and reason to be on a Leaf Squad, let me know.

Starting Level: Level 5

We will be using certain rules from the True Ninja, stricken rules are not in effect

To be a true Ninja, one must:

– be built using 40-point buy or 5d6, taking the three best, rerolling ones.
– have at least 1 power unit.I may decide to hand out power units during gameplay to as a reward, but I'm not sure they're what you would prefer.
– be able to learn techniques with only half the normal time.
– be able to move at up to 5 times his normal speed. (Using the Run action of course)
– count as armed and deal lethal damage with unarmed strikes even without the Combat Martial Arts feat (as per optional rule). Gain Combat Martial Arts for Free.
– begin play with the three basic techniques, Bunshin, Henge and Kawarimi, as well as 2d4 +1 technique per level. We will be Starting with 3d4+9 Techniques, not per level, just

Not counting the three basic ones

total. If you would rather not roll you can elect to take 17 Starting techniques, which is average. However if you roll you risk having less or more.
- Everyone begins play with 4 'Masteries*' that can be assigned, and can sacrifice a starting jutsu for an additional mastery
– have Balance, Chakra Control, Climb, Disguise, Genjutsu, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Ninjutsu, Search, Spot, Survival and Taijutsu as permanent class skills.
– be able to recover Chakra loss twice as fast.

* Mastery comes in five stages as described in the Document, and you gain 4 stages to be distributed into your jutsu, placing them all in one to get the fourth rank of mastery in that one, or one rank in 4 different techniques, feel free to ask if this is unclear.

On Choosing Jutsu

Standard Rules allow for the max rank of technique a character can learn is equal to his character level. At level five this means the highest jutsu you can have are

Optional rules will be decided upon on a case by case basis, so feel free to ask, the optional rule concerning starting armor proficiency is in effect, you get the armor proficiency of whatever the first class you take is.

The following Homebrew rules are in effect:
-Everyone gains the Genin Feat for free, that said you cannot take any higher rank feats.
-Exp Awards may be given for Good Roleplaying.

No Demons.

Applications Require the Following:

Name

Age

Description A paragraph or two detailing your characters appearance, including any noteworthy gear or markings, or a picture, or both.

Personality 1-3 paragraphs about how your character acts and who they are, I should be able to make an educated guess on how your character might act certain situations based on this.

Background What has made your character who he/she is, what important events, or parts of their life have impacted them? Do they have any goals?

Battle Style (Optional) Basically how your character acts in a fight, this section is truly optional, and won't count against you if absent, its just another area that lets you present your application.

And a link to a character sheet.

I had a character for another game I was playing in I would love to try. Are you allowing Jincuurriki or not? It is no big deal to me either way. I have two character concepts I can use either way. One happens to be the 3 tailed jIncuuriki.

What part of the Naruto Timeline will this story take place during? Also if there are only 5 people occupying two 3 man cells am I to assume there will be an NPC on one of the teams? If so can we know about the npc ahead of time. That way we can add in some info about them into our backstories if we are on that team?

Will we be getting a canon Shinobi as squad leader from the show?
Do we have to take Academy Student as an occupation?
Do you mind if characters do combined histories or have linked backstories?

I see that the rolling dice is crossed out. Does that mean that you want point buy only? Or can we roll the 5d6 and then choose point buy if we don't like it?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions. But they matter to the character type I am going for. :)

@MadHatter, No problem about all the questions!

-No Jinchuuriki sorry,
-In reference to the timeline, it is unlikely you run into any characters from the series, and I think I will more than likely ignore the majority of Naruto's arc.
-Concerning the 5 players, you're right in assuming a sixth npc team member, and I'll be looking to get you information on him as soon as possible. The two teams will be separated after I've selected players, so you won't know whether your on the npc's squad until then, though you can certainly formulate an opinion and relation with him.
EDIT: in General Info, Squad Nine, I've added basic information on the extra genin. I may potentially add more another day.
-Will not be getting a Canon squad leader, the squad leaders are Chuunin as well, though I will reserve the right to bring Canon characters into the storyline.
-You are not required to pick academy student as an occupation, though you are welcome to.
-You're welcome to have combined backstories, but I can't guarantee I bring both players from the combined backstory...
-Rolling Dice for stats is crossed out and not allowed, I've found that sometimes that level of dice rolling can really separate the power levels between characters in the party, and I'd rather avoid that if possible

@Darkhugh Excellent, good to have you!

Naruto d20s tend to have shorter lifespans than even most other PbP games, but I'm willing to believe in you, Joshue13905. Interested.
